A ways back I'd done an install in Newfoundland over Thanksgiving and, post-success, the customer took me to a curling party where I participated in a contest curling a frozen turkey (we agreed if I won they'd keep the rock in the house there.)
Anyhow: thwarted expectations reading "curling beef".

As someone who may really abuse "the other day" for a remarkably long time, a single concatenated suffix that covers a 49.9 year period starting last month feels just about right.

Though parsing between experienced data, stuff one was told, or conjecture may be more the focus of this paper, the delineation of when info was acquired dividing time into chunks from now->-1month, -1month to -50 years, and -50 years to time immemorial is 🔥🔥🔥.

(I imagine it as a kind of mix of "Defending Your Life" and Bar Trivia where there's a gentleman's agreement to not look things up despite generally betting about dumb things like if my paranoia about signing a form about receiving a different form that I did not receive is going to play out later.)

I can preemptively note that this is not an Olympic spoiler
(I am banking watching of athleticism to do some other catch-up so I get it!) but it is from years ago and it is also perfect.

After panicking 3 days ago upon getting a SMS reminder from my optometrist and putting it in my paper calendar, then reremembering yesterday in pinging a friend, but then forgetting this morning until I got an alert to scramble across town, I got to the eye doctor's to learn:
appointment's tomorrow.

Anyhow, the other day I had said aloud to myself, "It'd be useful to have access to a university gym again, maybe I should get a faculty position at the local college".
I don't know what it says that I never seem to see the normal path first. I am familiar with the concept of a "membership" but…

What I realized later was that maybe what I REALLY missed was the fact that I had 24hr library access from within 200 steps of where I was sleeping (under my desk, in my office, a couple floors under the library). I realized THAT in watching "For All Mankind" and seeing MargoMadison's NASA office.

About a year ago I had been on a walk with an old coworker and I'd said, "I really miss 24hr library access, maybe I should go back to grad school?" and it suddenly became clear that I had enjoyed my time as a student more than he did.

Will hunt: I may still have it in my files--it looks like they don't have the specific course anymore but it was about illuminated codexes of qurans, etc. and led to my *first* kind of exhibit, in the Kroch Rare Book and Manuscript library, a few floors underground.
